1. what are "pigs in a blanket"?

Tom Waits refers to them in one of his earlier songs (can't recall which song right now) and it's always intrigued me. Sausages wrapped in bacon?

I see you're a vegan, or so I presume. I don't eat factory farmed meat nor will I touch battery chickens or eggs. I couldn't be vegan though it's probably going to be necessary once peak oil goes on the downslope. Might seem paradoxical to you but I have no quibble with harvesting natural game. Factory farming makes me sick on the other hand.

Like I say, a paradox indeed.

best wishes.

3. I agree completely with you.

It's not the meat that bothers me it's the way they're raised and slaughtered.
